Thameslink Timetable consulatation survey finishes on Thursday

Do you use the Thameslink Service. Are you happy with the Timetable? Do you want to know what changes are proposed? Thameslink are running a Thameslink Consultation, but it will finish on Thursday, so if you want to make sure that your voice is heard, please do it asap. Sadly they are not consulting on what customers think of the way they are running the service.

Timetable consultation

The consultation launched on Thursday 15 September and closes at 17:00 on Thursday 8 December 2016.

Govia Thameslink Railway (GTR) has launched an extensive consultation
which sets out proposed changes to the timetable which will be operated
by GTR in 2018 following completion of the Thameslink Programme.
When the programme completes in 2018, it will transform north-south
travel through London; journeys will be improved with trains every two
to three minutes through central London at peak times. Improved
connections will give you better travel options to more destinations
than ever before, modern track will make your journeys more reliable and
new trains will provide additional capacity. This will be the biggest
timetable change on the routes affected in a generation. We are
therefore seeking feedback from any interested parties who may be
affected by the proposed changes to help shape the new patterns of
service.
This consultation will be the earliest a train operator has released
proposals in advance of the planned changes allowing sufficient time for
meaningful and on-going engagement.

If you have received a penalty fare at a Thameslink Station and you sent an appeal off to the Independent Penalty Fare Appeals Service, did you notice that this says at the bottom of the letter you got back "London and South Eastern Railways T/A IPFAS". In other words, it's not independent, it's an arm of a train company. They actually run Blackfriars station.

I believe that it is a scandal that this service calls itself independent, but there is no right of appeal and it's run by one of the train operators. I believe that the penalty ticket scheme is a scam to generate extra profits for these companies.

A little tool to help you defeat the invisible men

I've added an IP address lookup tool. If you get an email or you have a stats counter on your blog, you can see who it is and where they came from using this. If you've got an email from someone, view the email. Click on File, then click on properties, then click on details. Now click on message source

You will see some text as follows :-X-Originating-IP: [1.2.3.4]

Where I've put 1.2.3.4, cut and paste this number into the IP lookup and hey presto, you know where the email came from.

If it says it's from your bank, but the IP address is Freds chipshop, you know it's a scam.
